I am new and have a question.
#53
I sew on an 8' folding table which is not as high as a dining table and usually, unless it is something very intricate, I sit and cut next to my machine. I only do a couple of layers at a time and it works well. If it's a big project, I clear the table but still try to sit and cut. Since I usually design a lot of my quilts, I cut as I go a lot of times. Hope this helps.

I have a friend who has a bar stool that has a back. Her husband cut it to the height she can use. She said help..I have heard many quilters say that a break is good and stretching is very important. Remember that they say that we need to move our fingers also.

I am new to quilting as well. I just put the mat on the floor and cut. I do have a folding table for my sewing machine, just purchased a used folding sewing machine table. I think that would be easier for me to cut on or sew on. Best of luck and happy quilting!!

I have back problems so know what you are talking about. I ended up putting the table I use to cut up on bricks. It really works. Before I did this I also had to take alot of breaks. they also sell tables with adjustable legs. Got mine at Sams club. The only problem I found with those is to me they aren't wide enough
